Views of Asinara

Images from the trip we took with Anna Lisa from AsinarAventurra. She was a super guide who took us off the track on this deserted island. A capable and friendly guide who was very knowledgeable really made this day a treat.

Plants on Asinara

Today we went to Asinara, an island off the northwest coast of Sardinia. It has has a checkered past being a penal colony, a hospital and a place for fishermen to stop. Now it has been cleared of settlement and is a sanctuary for white donkeys, goats and wild sheep. Few large tree grow and the plant life in spring is very orange. Euphorbia, lichen and a relative of the fennel family feature below.
